And, for humanity's sake, don't use fixed size fonts.  For example, 10
point text is bloody tiny on my screens, and not resizable on many
browsers (even those that can override such stupid settings aren't easy
for many people to make that adjustment).

Leave the body text font size alone.  If you think it looks wrong in
your browser, adjust your browser.
